dean of the college said this week.
The dean, James W. Bailey,
said that "people are working on
the possible problems and con­flicts"
of a three-day registration
period, without advanced regis­tration.
He said that "heretofore the
problem in advanced registration
has been combining it with ad­viSing
the student, when they are
two separate functions." In the
interest of time, registration could
be condensed into three days.

Instructors replace
college officials
as committee heads
All standing faculty committees will have faculty
chairmen this year.
The associate dean of the college said this week that
faculty members will chair the committees, replacing ad­ministrative
officials who have customarily held the posi­tions.
"Basically, the idea was to give
the faculty a stronger role in col4
lege activities," the dean, James
W. Bailey, said.
The change comes close on the
heels of the organization of a
faculty senate, which is designed
to give the faculty more voice
in making academic policies.
After a meeting with faculty
members, the dean said, Presi­dent
Nelson made the recommen­dation
for the change. The feel·
ing was that "the faculty com­mittees
would be more ~ppro-priately
chaired by faculty mem­bers
."
President Nelson said this \\leek
that "the faculty on the com­mittees
makes the basic decisions
and the administration puts them
into effect." A stronger faculty
voice is one of the prerogatives
that the administration wants the
faculty to exercise," he said.
Administrative officials will be
ex..offi.cio members of the com­mittees
and resource personnel,
according to Bailey.
Dr. Robert G. Bass, chairman
He said the anticipated dates
are January 31 and February 1
and 2 but a final decision will
come soon.
He said advisors could meet
with their advisees January 3-17,
or even as late as January 26, if
necessary.
A second problem, he said, has
been the add-drop period which
foHows registration.
Questions to be posed
after Taylor's speech
of the Faculty Central Committee
(FCC), said that faculty chair­men
were a "good thing." He
said .. the faculty wiII exercise

the students and making this
